Meta Tag to Link With Smartphones

After inserting the meta tag into the html so that we can test our code on smartphone screens in the Chrome developer tools, do we delete the tag after use or we leave it there in the html forever? This has not been mentioned in the tutorial.

Hi Christopher,

The meta tag in question is pretty essential in responsive design in all honesty. I makes sure your site scales recognizes the width of the device is it being shown on and scales accordingly. This should be used on all your site in one way or another.

here is an informative link with more info

Hope this helps Craig
